Lucid Dreams and Dreaming of the future

[Gearfried]

I know many people have deja vu, but I have it constantly, and I often have very realistic dreams, and I occasionally have dreams about the future, which I remember after waking up, and then when the event happens, I get really weird...

Any advice? Is there a specific term for this?

[DismaliciouSx]

Holy shit! I thought I was the only one! I've even talked to my therapist about this and he couldn't help much. I'm sorry if I didn't help but damn it feels good to know I'm not the only one.

Deja vu happens to everyone sometimes. It's probably just that you notice it more than other people. As for dreams, the vividness of them varies by person. There's nothing wrong with having vivid dreams. Sometimes, you might dream of something and then it might happen later by coincidence. There isn't any more to it than that, though.

[Gearfried]

I don't think it's a coincidence: this happens consistently with me. I honestly think it is some extra sense humans have, maybe something that is still evolving within us, but it freaks me out. I refuse to write it off as coincidental, because I have it happen consistently.

[Mikedamaniak]

Yupsters I definitely have that as well. I don't remember the exact event, just vague traces and mood settings. It's kinda freaky when it happens but I just think it's just another difference between my brain and other people's. No one's brain is exactly the same. And about it being a sixth sense, that's good news if anything.

Always thought I was the only one who has this. I'm okay with it, as I usually only dream of small things such as what's going to happen in a certain class, or what we're going to have for dinner. I just home I never dream of anything dangerous, that I could prevent.

[Thunderstorm]

Don't worry that happens to me. You just got to shake it off and act like it wasn't a De ja vu moment. Keep from reminding your self of the past, or you may get stuck thinking that you really are there.

This happens with me too. We aren't alone after all. I see events that happen in the future but it's normally only conversations but it is sometimes mixed with other events that will or have happened, it actually happened today on the bus to school. Although I know there is something different that we can't see, mind you thats just my paranoia.

About 2 years ago I constantly had deja vu. At first I felt really weird how I could dream of the future, but then when I knew that it's called deja vu and a lot of people experience it, I'm ok. Now I rarely have them anymore.

Now I think Deja vu isn't real. It's some kind of the weirdness of the mind, the mind makes you feel that you've seen that situation in your dream before, but in reality it's not. Anyway, I'm not so sure about this though, the head is always complex and weird. :P

[SilentScream213]

Yep, I get that all the time. I still don't know if I believe it is a sixth sense-ish thing, but it I know for a fact it isn't coincidence.

Here's what I believe: When you see something in your dream, your brain remembers it, even if you don't. Later down the road, you might be faced with a situation that is similiar to what you dreamed about. Your brain might try to re-create what happened in your dream in this real-life situation, using the dream as a blueprint for what to do currently. While all of this happens unconsciously, you won't realize it's happening untill the situation gives you that "seen it before" deja vu feeling, revealing that the brain successfully played out the situation according to your dream.

However this seems unlikely, sinse other people/objects shouldn't go along with your dream. It really does feel like they predict the future sometimes.

OMG yes! All the time.

they call guys like us as forecasters....! Would have been great if we were in the past...! Thats nothing to worry about... Its just your brain trying to imagine things and match things which occured in your dreams....! Since your mind doesnt know where or when it happened since the dreams keep on changing it tries to match some pattern.... According to the pattern whatever the brain sees something that relates to the event it matches that... And people call it deja vu.... Or imaginary imagination....! There is nothing to worry about... If you really care about that contact a mental physician... He may help you....! ;)

This happens to me all the time. It runs in my famly also. I can have a dream and within a week it happens for real.

Most dreams that forsee the future are because your brain is thinking something might happen, and wants to prepare you for it happening. So if you have a dream about something happening and it does, it might be because you have forseen it happening because it was quite likely to happen anyway, and you know it.
Sorry for making no sense :D

[IVIodern]

This happens too me quite often. Something just happens and I can remember the exact same situation, like it happened before.

I thought I was the only one that this happened to.

[Moneygod234]

I thought I was the only one who had this. I thought I was going crazy! Its probably some relative of some sort of 6th sense humans have.

I'm a Lucid dreamer. I can control my dreams 95% of the time, and frequently use them to play out situations or ideas in my head. From screwing hot girls, to trying to work out math problems, to flying over mountains. It's a great feeling. It's so easy to do, most people can't because they realize they're dreaming and their dream crashes, you almost have to trick yourself into thinking you don't know your dreaming even though you do. :P

[Abyssal Echo]

it happens to me sometimes too

[unusedaccount]

Lucid dreaming is amazing. I've been able to do it for quite some time now. The limitations of your mind and body disappear, your free to do whatever you want, in an isolated 'test lab' environment, if you will... :yeah:
